    Not optimistic. I just know that defaults on auto loans are going to be peanuts in relation to other way more overleveraged areas that are going to be way more consequential. Unless somehow the packaging of those auto loans into derivative products has created something similar to the collateralized debt obligations in the last decade. There has been some of that. But I don't believe the way it was going on with home mortgages. Nobody is getting fooled by the same exact magic trick twice. The next credit crisis is way, way more likely to be set off at the sovereign or corporate level. The amount of mispriced debt created over the last decade is staggering.

    I think the only candidates for governor I believed would do physical harm to an opponent were Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Not sure about nationally, but in Podunkville folks would still rather buy than lease.

    Pop is tighter than Sam Walton.

    After he divorced his third wife, he decided he wanted to live at the horse farm instead of having to drive 20 minutes to it. So he bought a $30,000 mobile home and put it on the property. The demo he drives off the lot is worth twice as much.

    Jesse didn't take any bumps, Adrian Adonis did.

    Jesse would work the crowd while Adrian was in the ring. Jesse would come in for his finisher 'Backbreaker' and then pose.

    But that's how Jesse honed his verbal chops, which served him well.

    Did we miss Steven Bannon?

    We missed Steven Bannon and he's back, baby!

    Oh, and Wilbur's a liar:

    WASHINGTON — Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has shifted his explanation for adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, saying he now recalls discussing it with Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, according to court documents filed Thursday.

    Mr. Ross, who faces a court order to provide a deposition to the plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking to strip the question from the questionnaire, told a congressional committee earlier this year that he had only talked about the question with Justice Department officials to determine its legality.

    Mr. Ross now says Mr. Bannon suggested that he contact Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state whom Mr. Trump appointed to a commission to investigate his unsubstantiated claims that millions of illegal immigrants cast ballots for Hillary Clinton in 2016. The panel was later disbanded, and Mr. Kobach is currently the Republican candidate for governor of Kansas.

    Mr. Bannon, whose first name is misspelled as “Steven” in government documents, “called Secretary Ross in the Spring of 2017 to ask Secretary Ross if he would be willing to speak” to Mr. Kobach, according to a document filed by Justice Department lawyers representing Mr. Ross.

    And fuck science because fuck science:

    WASHINGTON — An Environmental Protection Agency panel that advises the agency’s leadership on the latest scientific information about soot in the atmosphere is not listed as continuing its work next year, an E.P.A. official said.

    The 20-person Particulate Matter Review Panel, made up of experts in microscopic airborne pollutants known to cause respiratory disease, is responsible for helping the agency decide what levels of pollutants are safe to breathe. Agency officials declined to say why the E.P.A. intends to stop convening the panel next year, particularly as the agency considers whether to revise air quality standards.

    Environmental activists criticized the move as a way for the Trump administration to avoid what they described as the panel’s lengthy but critical assessment of how much exposure to particulate matter is acceptable in the atmosphere.

    “To me this is part of a pattern,” said Gretchen Goldman, research director at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a science-oriented environmental nonprofit. “We’re seeing E.P.A. trying to cut science out of the process.”

    Couldn't agree more.

    I see more scuffs on greens now, to be honest.
